Write for Rights!

Hi! This day has come: Write for Rights finally begun yesterday! I spent two hours with my friends writing letters to governments and embassies in defence of human rights. The letter writing continued today and will continue tomorrow during the AI Club meeting. We all hope our voices will persuade the governments to stop these human rights violations.
One of the people I wrote for yesterday is a South Sudanese 17-year-old who had been unjustly sentenced to death because of accidentally killing his cousin at the age of 15. Death penalty is a big problem around the world. A person who was mistakenly sentenced to life in prison can still be released, but someone who was executed cannot be brought back to life. We mustn't let governments systematically kill their countries' citizens. Write a letter!
